Theodora of Greece got married: which royal was Infanta Cristina inspired by?

The wedding of Theodora of Greece gave fans of royal affairs a long weekend of surprises, especially when it comes to style and fashion. It was there before the catwalk of the Christmas Eve dinner and then finally we saw the royal put bride’s wedding after years of waiting. The looks of the guests also offered topics for conversationall very elegant, and we also discussed the passing some ceremonial dresses from mother to daughter.

However, some observers have focused on the dress sported by Infanta Cristinaa draped model as blue as the sea of ​​Greece (and like the country’s flag). The royal does not have the same visibility as the others of the Bourbon-Spain house and therefore while we see the outfits of Queen Letizia almost every day but also those of the queen emeritus Sofia and the princesses Leonor and Sofia on the occasion of official engagements, actually of the king’s sister In recent times, we have very little information about Felipe’s wardrobe.

The reason is easy to say: due to the misdeeds of her ex-husband Iñaki Urdangarinthe royal was involved in a financial scandal that it also cost her the title of Duchess of Palma de Mallorca.

Of Infanta Cristina’s look, not only was appreciatedclean-lined but far from simpleenlivened by a game of shots, but also the color combined with the fabric, all elements that made the choice successful. From certain points of view we could say that that type of outfit had previously been tested, not by her directly but by others royals.

Some have noted the similarity of the dress in question to the one worn by Caroline of Monaco at the civil wedding of Prince Albert and Charlène Wittstock celebrated on 1 July 2011 in the Throne Room of the Palais Princier. The Chanel dress has the same color but not the same consistency: the material with which it is made is different but the neck and drapery also have a different construction.

Looking more closely at the head unlined by Infanta Christina at the wedding of Theodora of Greece, we note rather another similaritycloser in time and kinship. Let’s talk about the outfit worn by Letizia of Spain just over a year ago in Madrid to participate in theInternational Journalism Awards.

In this case, more similarities are observed, especially with regards to color and fabric and therefore lights and shadows connected to these two factors. The effect on the shoulder is also similar but generated by two different cuts on the same point. We are certainly not talking about the same dress: Letizia of Spain’s outfit is actually a set made up of a designer blouse and skirt Maksu.

Theodora of Greece, her wedding proved that certain dresses never get old (and the looks of all the guests)

In this royal wedding Autumn saw a generational shift in the wardrobe of some of the bride’s relatives. Beautiful formal dresses for the occasion were passed from mother to daughter. The result? A successful operation that was not only sentimental but also sustainable

As we know, there is bad blood between the Queen and the Infanta. Their respective characters and the troubles that have stained the Spanish throne weigh heavily. The former duchess will have taken advantage of Letizia’s absence to once again catalyze upon herself attention that had vanished for years. After all, as they say in these cases, imitation is the most sincere form of admiration. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a skirmish between sisters-in-law instead.
